Background

NexSquads are based on a concept called "Masterminds". Organizations like YPO use them for CEOs of successful companies. Each mastermind group has 4-8 executives that meet monthly for 1-2 hours. Meetings are extremely confidential and everyone is there to add value to each other. Mastermind groups have been used for decades, but usually for top executives. NexSquads are our version of Masterminds.

NexSquad Requirements

• Send each other daily updates.
• Have a weekly NexSquads meeting (send calendar invites).

Structure of a NexSquad Meeting (60min)

Pre-Meeting:

• Remove all distractions (put away your phone, close applications on your computer, tell your parents you're in a meeting).

1. Start (10min)
   1. Begin the meeting with a squad ritual. This might be a short meditation, sharing a joke, doing an ab workout... whatever you want.
   2. Check in on how each person is feeling (highs and lows of the week) and share the status on personal action items from the previous meeting.
2. Spotlights (40min)
   1. Each person gets a 10 minute spotlight.
   2. During the spotlight, they share a personal challenge they're facing.
   3. The squad then gives their ideas and perspectives to help the person overcome their challenge.
3. Action Items (10min)
   1. On a Notion doc, each person adds their actions items for next week.
      • This Notion doc has the history of the previous meetings action items and notes.
   2. Everyone goes through their action items for the week and people can give feedback or ask questions. (E.g. if the action item isn't challenging enough or not important, then you should challenge your squad to help them grow more effectively).

5 Traits of a Successful NexSquad

1. Your squad trusts each other. You've develop a healthy relationship and you're all aligned on each other's goals. You respect each other and have intentionally developed your squad culture.
2. You hold each other accountable and call each other out if someone doesn't accomplish something they said they were going to do.
3. You have high standards for each other. If someone produces low-quality content/projects, your squad will call them out and provide them with valuable feedback to help them get better.
